Chief Executive

Lead Us Into The Future!!

Situated near the canal in Enfield Lock, Christian Action Housing own or manage over 1690 properties in the London boroughs of Enfield, Barnet, Haringey, and Waltham Forest. We have an excellent reputation with these authorities for providing innovative housing and support services. Our long serving and accomplished Chief Executive, Mark Hayes, retires in 2021 and we now launch our campaign to find a worthy successor.

Originally founded by a group of local Churches in Enfield, we have always welcomed people of all faiths and no faith at our organisation. We are financially sound with a turnover of £14.5M, a strong balance sheet and a Board commitment to independence.

Reporting to the board of management, the role will be responsible for inspiring leadership to 100 staff, supporting a culture which delivers services to a complex mix of housing types. Our new Chief Executive will lead us in a period of transformation, building on our strong foundation, taking our services to the next level - through increased use of digital options and a renewed focus on customer satisfaction, while remaining a landlord of choice for our customers and a partner of choice for local councils.

We are looking for a special individual: a strategic leader with the ability to build effective relationships and the commercial acumen to lead the direction, growth and performance of our business. Sharing our values of fairness and ensuring equal service for all of our communities, you will bring substantial experience of operating at a senior level within the housing sector in at least a comparable size business, managing multiple operations.

We are ambitious for our size and are constantly finding ways of doing more. We are continuing to develop; we currently have £10m to invest in our communities and are active members of a development alliance partnering with the GLA.

If you can help us realise our ambitions, please contact our recruitment consultants for an informal discussion:
